Eleanor “Ellie” Singer

Eleanor “Ellie” Singer

Listed in

January 28, 1940 - March 21, 2024

Ellie passed peacefully at The Village of Taunton Mills in her comfy room surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

Ellie was listening to her show tunes and 50’s favourites while hearing her loved ones laugh, cry and sing her praises.

Ellie lived with dementia during the last 6 years of her life, the last 3 years being in LTC.

Ellie was not one to dwell on the negative, she did not judge.

She’d rather spend her time laughing and loving her family and friends and watching the Leafs, the Jays and a good movie, preferably a Hollywood musical.

Ellie was born in Toronto to Kenneth and Bernadine. She grew up with her sisters: Carolyn, Nancy, Judy and Barb both in Toronto and Scarborough. Ellie was a devoted and loving daughter, sister, and aunt, but her favourite role of all was mother and Nana-Banana to: Valerie: Matt/Chantelle (Lauren & Mikey), Tess & Emily, Steven/Cheryl: Elora & Angus, Mark: Jarrett & Jessie, and Cheryl/Richie: Kendra & Harper. Her love, patience and readiness to help when needed knew no bounds.

Ellie enjoyed road trips, plane trips and train trips throughout her life. Her most memorable being: the Maritimes, Cape Cod, Florida, Moosonee and NYC.

Ellie loved going to the Coulson cottage for get togethers with her extended Coulson family. Ellie always hoped to make it to Norway, she might just still, as her family plan to visit there on her behalf.

Ellie worked for 25 years in nephrology research as a lab assistant for U of T at St. Mike’s under the direction of Dr. M. Halperin. Ellie was incredibly proud to work in this lab. Ellie shifted into retirement being a devoted caregiver to her beloved sister Judy, her tenacious mother Bern and her 9 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, whom she thought the world of.

Nana didn’t love anything more than laughing (which she did often) when hanging with her grandkids.

Ellie then became the one cared for and the family would like to recognize the exceptional care of the UHN where Ellie spent months during Covid.

She then transitioned into to the caring, loving and sincere team of the Dryden Unit at The Village. The family would also like to thank wonderful Geddes, who was Ellie’s constant source of comfort and companionship at The Village.

Ellie will be forever etched in our hearts and memories. Thank you for your unrelenting love and constant devotion.

You mean more than words to us.

A celebration of life will be held in the future, where we can fully pay homage to this wonderful woman.
